Have you recently gotten an updated eyeglass prescription, only to pop a blood vein in your eyeballs when you learned what those new eye glasses were going to cost? A good pair of eye glasses with progressive lenses, scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating, and contemporary eye glass frames can run you $400 or more at some of the various retailers! If this isn't shocking enough, wait until you see what these same pair of glasses are going to cost with Designer Eye Glass Frames!

How to Buy Expensive Prescription Eye Glasses

Just a decent pair of eyeglass frames alone is over $100! Would if you could buy your prescription eye glasses online just like everything else nowadays and save a bundle of money? Well, you can. Your first concern is probably wondering how you can get the right size, fit and prescription? No Problem.

How to Buy Cheap Eye Glasses

There are three very simple things you will need to have in order to fulfill an online eye glasses order:

Your eye glasses Prescription (You can buy Non Prescription Eye Glasses Too!)

(If you've just had an eye optometrist appointment, you should have this.)

Your Pupil Distance Measurement

Using a metric ruler, simply measure the distance in millimeters between the center of both pupils. The number is usually around 58 - 70mm.

Your old eye glasses for size measurement comparison.

Your old pair of eyeglasses should serve as a rule of thumb for knowing the approximate size of frame that fits well with your face.

Armed with the information above, you will be able to order a nice pair of stylish eye glasses for as low as $13.00!. I paid $64.00 for mine due to the frame style and progressive lenses.
I actually ordered from a couple of different retailers, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a few of them. Here they are:

Zenni Optical
Goggles 4U
$39.00 Glasses Online
Frames Direct

Frames Direct actually has an excellent try-on tool which allows you to upload a photo of yourself and try the glasses on. I found this to be a very useful way to determine your basic size and fit: They have very nice Eyeglasses Frames, too!

Who Is the Best Online Eye Glasses Retailer?

I have actually purchased from a couple of the retailers above: Zenni and Goggles 4U. Honestly, I cannot recommend one over the other. The service was excellent, and quality every bit as good as what I am accustomed getting from the local prescription eye glasses retailers. Each of them have their own unique advantages, and Frame Styles, so some may be better suited for you depending on your preferences and needs. For frequent eye glasses wearers, I recommend buying two pairs; one as sunglasses to keep in the car, and one for everyday use. Chances are, you will have paid half of what you paid for just one pair from your local eyeglasses retailer. Because I do not have experience buying from each of the online eyeglasses retailers above, I cannot recommend one over the other. What I can do, however, is recommend any of them over paying the exorbitant amounts of money at your local eyeglasses retailer.
